Hi Pat,
I’m not quite sure what you did by “importing” the Legacy 7 files. Once you have upgraded to v8 and try to open a v7 file you will be asked if you want to convert it, with the option of making a copy. However, if you can find the LEG8PAT.fdb using file explorer then you should be able to find it with Legacy. Go to File/Open, navigate to the folder where LEG8PAT.fdb can be found, click on the file, and click on Open. Perhaps you were clicking on the blue L in the upper left corner – this normally shows the recent files opened, and there is a chance that you had not actually opened the second file?? Navigate as above, making sure the file has an .fdb extension.

I have two main databases: one my paternal side; the other my maternal side. I recently updated to Legacy 8. I imported both files separately and saved each to a new name, which I'll call Leg8PAT and LEG8MAT. Now Legacy can find LEG8MAT but it cannot find LEG8PAT. Why? (I can find both.) And what should I do?
